Can you look at this duck again?

[Vyctoria]

Thank you for these great responses. I am not sure if it is a hiss or coo. It's almost like he has lost his voice and is straining to scream at us. Lol. I have been looming at pictures and believe he/she is a French White Muscovy. I have a rooster named Princess Bubblegum. When we got him we thought he was a girl for months. Until one early morning I was awoken by an awful sound. I was groggy and told my daughter "go shoot that owl". Turned out my "Princesca" was a Prince. Kept the name and say hes our transgender rooster.

lol that is great.

How Old Is Your Muscovy? Male Muscovy ducks beaks turn red and females have pink beaks here is a picture of my Muscovy's I no longer have all 3 males in the picture. I now only have the white headed male. But in the picture, you can tell the 3 males out instantly. Also males are very big!

Her Muscovy looks pretty similar to your white/black female in the middle

Yes, I noticed that when I first seen this. But mine has more black on her face. And her bill and around her eyes are much darker pink than theirs. Which makes me think their Muscovy is little under 6 months.

"He" is only like 8 weeks at the most! He is huge compared to my Khaki Campbell!

Muscovy drakes don't get a curly tail feather, but their caruncles are a lot more prominent than the females' caruncles, and the males are much bigger.
I don't know how to tell the difference between a French white Muscovy and a regular Muscovy. I have several muscovies that are all white with a little black spot on their heads, but they came from b&w pied Muscovies. The french white were bred for meat so I assume would grow a lot faster/bigger? I'm looking at the picture that you say is an 8 week and I am all OHMAHGAWD. I don't remember mine growing that fast! But, yea, they do grow fast and get pretty big.
I think you have a drake there, and I would ask the farmer about his muscovies. Are they the French variety or just regular? He may know what variety he has, unless he just got a bunch of ducklings because....well, DUCKLINGS.
If he is, in fact, a he, and mates your khaki Campbell, their offspring will be sterile. But adorable and fun to have around anyway.

Awesome, I was hoping someone with Muscovies would chime in. I always wondered if they had a drake feather or not. Good to know!
